Chapter 18: Tang Pengze

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and strong winds swept across the land.

The raging winds were like razor-sharp blades, slaughtering all creatures that dared to appear before them.

Shrouded in a storm is a desolate city.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a dead silence in the entire city, except for the sound of the wind, and there was no living creature in sight. Occasionally, you can see pitch-black steel bars pouring out of the ruined buildings, like the fangs of the devil.

The wind has been raging in the deserted city for several days.

Under the manhole cover of a certain cement road in the city, a pair of eyes are quietly staring at the open space not far away.

The owner of the eyes was quiet, and he could not blink even when the wind swept through the sand and crackled the manhole cover.

In the shadows, he was like a lifeless stone.

Through the sewer hole of the manhole cover, Tang Pengze's eyes stared at a huge black shadow ten meters away.

It was a zombie.

It's also a mutated zombie.

After the outbreak of the world crisis, Tang Pengze only knew that humans could become zombies after being infected.

But through his observation in the past few days, he found that the zombie will also evolve through some kind of inexplicable evolution and become a more powerful mutant zombie!

This mutated zombie is not only strong, but also has evolved claws on its feet and hands, and its body is three meters tall, and its strength is four or five times that of ordinary zombies.

Facing this mutated zombie, Tang Pengze's heart was extremely cold. He discovered that this mutant zombie not only attacked humans, but also its own kind.

Tang Pengze had seen this mutated zombie with his own eyes in the past few days, using its mutated sharp claws to crush the heads of dozens of ordinary zombies and suck the brain marrow of those zombies.

As the mutated zombie continued to eat the brains of ordinary zombies, it became more and more powerful, as if it had become a terrifying monster.

Tang Pengze didn't know how many mutated zombies there were like this.

But he knew very well that the mutant zombie in front of him had already discovered him three days ago!

The most terrifying thing is that this mutant zombie is still extremely patient, always squatting nearby, and doesn't even have a chance to make Tang Pengze want to escape.

He didn't know if the mutated zombie had evolved intelligence or if it was instinct to do such a thing.

But no matter what it was, in the face of such a zombie, the desperate Tang Pengze knew that his chances of survival had become slim.

Even if he doesn't become food for the mutated zombies, he will be starved to death by thirst due to lack of food and water!

Suddenly, Tang Pengze's eyes lit up.

Because, he noticed that a few ordinary zombies roaming over appeared in the distance.

The one, which had been standing less than ten meters from the manhole cover, had mutated like a statue, and finally moved.

The huge body with dark gray skin, which was three meters tall, shook a little.

A pair of dead gray giant eyes, turning with the hideous head, slowly turned in the direction of the ordinary zombies, and suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a silent but miserable roar sounded in its mouth in an instant.

I saw this mutant zombie leaning over suddenly, landing with a pair of front paws, using both hands and feet, like a raging beast, rushing towards those ordinary zombies frantically......

Seeing this scene, Tang Pengze's eyes brightened even more.

Opportunity!

He had been waiting for such an opportunity for three days.

Tang Pengze did not hesitate to directly open the manhole cover, crawled out of the sewer, and ran in the opposite direction of the mutant zombies.

However, before he could run out two or three steps, suddenly, a terrifying roar came from behind him.

Tang Pengze, whose face changed drastically, turned his head and glanced behind him as he ran.

It was this glance that made his face instantly pale and bloodless, and his eyes showed an incredible and desperate light.

In the line of sight, the mutated zombies who originally rushed towards the ordinary zombies, at some point, had stopped the impact action, turned around, and looked at themselves coldly with a pair of dead gray eyes. After a roar, he used his hands and feet together, and ran faster and rushed towards him.

Tang Pengze stopped, he hadn't eaten anything for three days, and he had drunk even a drop of water, and he knew better than anyone what kind of state his physical strength was at this time.

Maybe he can outrun the pursuit of ordinary zombies.

However, in the face of a mutated zombie that is several times stronger than ordinary zombies in strength and flexibility, this kind of escape is meaningless.

He also thought about running back down the drain.

He had already run out of the sewer entrance five or six meters away, and if he was going back, at the speed of a mutated zombie, he would definitely be able to appear in front of him before he approached the sewer.

Tang Pengze, who was desperate, suddenly relaxed the expression on his face and sighed.

He knew he was dead, and that he would soon be food for the mutated zombie's mouth.

Looking at the mutated zombies that were running towards him quickly, Tang Pengze slowly closed his eyes.

However, just halfway through his eyes.

Suddenly.

The roar of a car engine snapped out not far behind him.

Tang Pengze's closed eyes opened suddenly, and he turned his head in astonishment, only to find that a strange commercial vehicle that was driving at high speed suddenly appeared behind him.

The word weird comes to mind because the exterior of the van is welded with a protective net as if it were wearing a suit of armor.

The direction in which the business vehicle was traveling at this time was where he was now.

Not only that, but while the commercial vehicle was driving at high speed, suddenly, half a figure emerged from the roof of the commercial vehicle.

Because the distance was not very far, Tang Pengze's eyes could clearly see the person on the roof of the car, which was a man.

The moment he saw the man, a firelight accompanied by a gunshot suddenly rang out in front of the man, on the roof of the car.

Tang Pengze felt something pass by his ear, bringing a gust of air.

Behind him, a roar of pain was heard.

Oh!

The sound is close, close at hand.

The voice was somewhat familiar, and he had heard it a lot over the past three days.

Tang Pengze knew that this was the roar of the mutant zombie.

Then, several more gunshots rang out on the roof of the speeding commercial vehicle.

The roar behind him abruptly stopped, and there was a roar of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Boom!

Tang Pengze felt that the ground under his feet trembled slightly with the sound of the heavy object falling to the ground.

A sharp brake raised a cloud of dust on the ground, and also made Tang Pengze, who was in a state of confusion, recover a little.

With a bang, the door of the business car opened, and a tall young man stepped out, stood in front of Tang Pengze, and said a word.

"I'm Zhang Lang, the owner of the Apocalypse Express Shop, and you are Tang Pengze?"
